Audi A3 - Video tutorial

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Handle
Operation: How do you remove the external handle of the Audi A3?

The removal of the external handle of the Audi A3 is done by opening the door, so that access to its side screw can be obtained: this must therefore be completely removed. Then proceed by loosening all the screws that fix the door panel to its housing: by also removing the panel, the screws that fix the door actuator mechanism from the inside can be identified. By removing this mechanism, it will be possible to remove the handle from its housing, replacing it with a new one and then verifying that everything works correctly.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
